I really enjoyed this story. I love the conversations between Ellen and Thane. You did a great job with Thane he sounds very true to character. And as for deserts, well... I was born and raised in Bakersfield and I loved it. Looking forward to reading more of your works.3

My reviews usually suck at constructive criticism. I can't criticize. I think it goes against my basic makeup. Of course there's nothing here to criticize - It's all amazingly great! I have so enjoyed this storyline and I am sad to see it coming to a close. Oh well, that just means you have to create an entirely new story to entertain us with. And yes, I agree with Matryfae, the Farewell Normandy chapters really could stand on their own. I don't have that DLC yet, but live it through the people who write about it.

Again, a wonderful job with the storyline. Please continue to write more.

Another brilliant chapter...and I am sad to see this story come to a close...I love your Shep and Thane!

A Grunt related chapter does sound interesting though...

In my humble opinion I think the Farewell Normandy chapters can stand on their own...if it were just two or three chapters long I could see it as a part of this fanfic but considering the length it's a story itself, and a very good one at that.

I've really enjoyed this fanfic...I don't know what else to say about it. This is a wamazing story and I'll say it again I love your Shep and Thane's relationship, I love how you write them. I understand it has to end...but I am still sad to see this complete, it always made my day whenever I got the update email.

I absolutely love this story! :D I don't review a lot, but this story is PAINFULLY under-loved. I find your interpretation of Thane really interesting and damn near flawless, and you've been the only person yet to write a Renegade-first Shepard (what with killing the rachni/Council and all) that I don't hate. You're a very talented writer, and I really want to see more of Thane and Ellen.

I'd also like to call attention to your seemingly flawless proof-reading. Not enough writers on FFdN have editorial standards as high as you appear to. I haven't witnessed a single grammar/spelling mistake in the entire narrative thus far, and that's rather impressive. :)

Have I told you I love your Shepard? Renegonaparagade adorable that she is. At first I was reading these for your takes on all of the various missions, but now I'm really interested in her background and her character. I also love the Jacob/Thane bits you throw in. I kept hoping they'd have a fight like Miranda/Jack and Tali/Legion, but I guess Thane would have just turned around and walked away before it began. Can't wait to see what's next
